Series 7 Exam exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The Series 7 exam has 125 questions and you have 3 hours and 45 minutes; FINRA lists a passing score of 72 (FINRA Series 7 exam page). Candidates must pass both the Series 7 exam and the SIE exam to obtain the General Securities registration, and must be sponsored by a FINRA member firm to take the Series 7 (FINRA). The FINRA content outline (2025) weights four job functions: seeking business from customers and potential customers 7 percent, opening accounts 9 percent, providing customers with information about investments and making recommendations 73 percent, and processing transactions 11 percent. FINRA lists a passing score of 72 but does not state the scale on its exam page, so the portal mock shows 72 percent only as a self-check for this practice set. FINRA lists the Series 7 exam at $395 (October 2026); the SIE is a separate exam with its own fee. The content outline spreads questions across 4 areas; the largest are Provides Customers with Information About Investments, Makes Recommendations, Transfers Assets and Maintains Appropriate Records (73.0%); Obtains and Verifies Customers' Purchase and Sales Instructions and Agreements; Processes, Completes and Confirms Transactions (11.0%); Opens Accounts After Obtaining and Evaluating Customers' Financial Profile and Investment Objectives (9.0%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. You must be associated with and sponsored by a FINRA member firm (or another applicable SRO member firm), and you must also pass the SIE exam for the General Securities registration (FINRA).
